We met up with Parrot at CES and the company showcased their latest bluetooth products. The Parrot MKi series hands-free bluetooth music system car kits give the user a wide variety of options. The MKi line includes three different products: MKi9000, MKi9100, MKi9200. The Parrot MKi9000 is a bluetooth hands-free system that does have a screen. Once installed in the car, the user can make and receive calls and play music using USB, line-in, iPhone or iPod, or a A2DP-compatible phone. The Parrot MKi9100 is a bluetooth hands-free system with OLED screen. Users can wirelessly control the OLED screen using a wireless remote control that can be placed on the steering wheel. The MKi9100 automatically synchronizes the phonebook with your phone’s phonebook as for easy calling. The Parrot MKi9200 is also a bluetooth hands-free system, but has a 2.4" color screen included. Using the same wireless remote control that can be places on the steering wheel, users can go through menus, contacts, settings, and playlists.

Parrot also highlighted the ZIMKU Parrot wireless bluetooth speakers. These speakers are by Philippe Starck as to create premium sound that makes the music sound almost 360 degrees. The ZIKMI Parrot speakers have a docking station that can be used to play a iPhone or iPod. Users can also stream tracks from their Mac or PC via Bluetooth. People with PCs will be able to stream over Wi-Fi as well.
